If this Post is true then the media would pick it up. If it stays in the blogs then really it won’t get much exposure.
Nope, the entire media are working together to spread the lie...including Faux News.
Fortunately, Ted Cruz says his campaign is designed with the assumption that the lying media would be against him from start to finish.
Help Ted Cruz bypass the dino media!
Ted Cruz 2016!

This post does appear to be true and therefore will be buried by the media.
Don’t think the media has a conservative Republican’s best interests in mind, EVER.
You do realize the entire MSM and GOPE hate Cruz? Many have laid out this time line.
There are a number of timelines, but they all show basically the same thing:
Someone in the Carson camp tells CNN that Carson is "leaving the campaign trail to return to Florida" and will not be heading to NH or SC. They either tell CNN or CNN discovers that Carson has no campaign events scheduled for the next several days. CNN tweets this information out and it is discussed live on air.
The Cruz campaign sends the information out to its team, recommending they urge Carson voters to vote for Cruz instead.
At some point Carson sends out 2 different statements saying he is staying in the race.
CNN sends out another statement saying Carson is "taking a break" from the campaign AFTER Carson has sent out the clarification.
The Carson clarification is not forwarded to the Cruz campaign staff.
Keeping in mind this happened over a very short period of time (30-45 minutes from most of the timelines I have seen) and the amount of activity and chaos that was present with record numbers of caucus goers, I can kind of understand how the Carson clarification got missed by the precinct captains. There were dozens of tweets flying around about Carson going to Florida after the original CNN report from different sources, but only 2 tweets with the clarification. And even CNN was still tweeting the original story AFTER the clarification.
Was the Cruz campaign HQ wrong to share the original story and use it to persuade Carson voters to vote for them? No, that was fair game. Even if they told Carson voters that his actions made it look like he was getting ready to quit, there is nothing wrong or unethical about that. Everyone who viewed the original report seemed to have the same idea - it DID look like he was getting ready to quit. If they said that Carson had announced he was quitting and they knew it was false, that would have been wrong.
Should the Cruz campaign HQ have forwarded the clarification from the Carson campaign to its staff? It really was not their job to clean up Carson's mess, but it still would have been the right thing to do. The fact that did not happen is why Ted apologized.
For some reason, the Trump supporters want to say that it was up to the Cruz campaign to check the story before they shared it, and that it was their responsibility to correct the story when it turned out to be untrue. No, it was CNN's responsibility to get the story right in the first place, and it was the responsibility of CNN and the Carson campaign to correct the false impression afterward. Helping them to do so would have been a nice thing for the Cruz campaign to do, but during the caucus, their job was to get their people to vote for them, not help another campaign.
Are you truly that naive?
